A rare antique Japanese Hikeshi Zukin, a traditional protective hood worn by Japanese firefighters.
The exterior is made from thick, densely stitched indigo cotton. The interior features a striking katazome-style design depicting waves and traditional firefighting motifs in black, white, and red.
Traditional Japanese firefighters wore thick quilted cotton garments that could be soaked with water before fighting a fire. This beautifully aged piece is an impressive example of Japanese craftsmanship and firefighting culture.
It is ideal for collectors of antique Japanese textiles, Sashiko, Boro, folk art, firefighter antiques, or as a unique wall display.
